Personal amp evolution

Seeing the over night success of the speaker evolution thread, it may be interesting to see what type of amp(s) we have all run. Same deal as the other thread-we will sort of create a puzzle of our systems you'll have to visit multiple threads to put everything together!!! ;)
For me I started:
Adcom GFA-565 monoblocks
Rotel RB-990bx
Jeff Rowland Design Group Model 5
Balanced Audio Technology(BAT) VK-60

either a CAT JL2, BAT VK-75se or Tenor 75Wp on the horizon.

hmm, lemme see if i can remember:

Marantz 1115 reciever
Harmon Kardon something - 80wpc, sounded nice
Sumo 9 - Class A
Cyrus Straight line - [*embarrassed*]
GAS - son of ampzilla
Mark Levinson No.27
Pass Labs Aleph 5 - better than all the rest

what's next???
hopefully an XA.5 series!

Started with HK 500 A modded as a pre-amp and a Hafler DH220
then a Melos 90 st to a Jeff Rowland model 8 with choke and now
have added an ARC d-70 mk2 as a tube alternative along with the
Jeff Rowland.

Jadis DA-60 -> Mark Levinson No.331 -> Mark Levinson No. 33H -> DartZeel NHB-108 -> Pass Labs XA160.5

The Pass XA.5 series is very very natural sounding. Tonally excellent.
